Approach to TCM constitution types and their distribution in TCM syndrome types of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome complicated with decline of physical fitness
Objective:To approach TCM constitution types and their distribution characteristics in TCM syndrome types of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)complicated with decline of physical fitness.Methods:TCM Syndrome Scale and TCM Constitution Scale were filled by 312 cases of patients with PCOS complicated with decline of physical fitness.The distribution of TCM constitution types in TCM syndrome types of patients was analyzed;in addition,TCM constitution types and their clinical indexes were analyzed.Results:Among 312 cases of patients with PCOS,the proportion of phlegm-dampness constitution was higher(38.8%).9 kinds of TCM constitutions distributed in 4 kinds of different TCM syndrome types:among them,the distribution of phlegm-dampness constitution was obviously different(P<0.05);compared among four constitutions i.e.phlegm-dampness constitution,qi-deficiency constitution,yang-deficiency constitution and damp-heat constitution,the physical fitness indexes of qi-deficiency group and yang-deficiency group were lower than those of phlegm-dampness constitution group(P<0.01,P<0.05);body mass,hip circumference,waist circumference,BMI,WHR and leptin of phlegm-dampness constitution group were higher than those of qi-deficiency constitution group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion:TCM constitutions of patients with PCOS complicated with decline of physical fitness are mainly phlegm-dampness constitution,and the distribution difference of phlegm-dampness constitution in 4 TCM syndrome types is statistically different(P<0.05).
